but one white boy in particular, his face gleamed with joy and he said nigga like it was Christmas. I wanted to check him... but honestly... I realized I couldn't. It was such an awkward situation, it made me realize how much damage that word did. That's why I really don't even listen to most hiphop today because it truly is ignorant in alot of ways. Even alot of 90s hiphop in terms of the liberal use of the word nigga. It creates an interesting conflict when it comes to those who listen to it.
As someone already stated, even IF all black people or a majority of them referred to each other as a nigga, why do white people want to say it so badly? What satisfaction would it bring? In what way would this improve race relations?
Well, I'm actually going to somewhat answer that. I already displayed my feelings about other races using it. But when i was younger, what really made me stop saying it was this one incident.
I was about 12 and I was in a car with a few friends of mine. Half of us were black, a few arabs and the rest white. Now some hiphop song came on... some ignorant bullshit so you know the word nigga was going to be thrown around like confetti. So while we were 'rapping' along to the song, it was interesting to see the reactions of some of the non-black peeps in the car.
Some restrained themselves from saying the word nigga, and looked around uncomfortably, looking for a 'pass' to say it. The others would muffle their voices like a silencer when the "N word" was said
So I'm in two minds about this to a degree. The word shouldn't be said in any circumstances, except when quoting... but still, it's a tough one.
face. Others in the car had a 
look. I couldn't get mad at the dude though. That really opened my eyes. Hip Hop has hurt our community big time. People forget that the limited interaction non-blacks have with blacks is through BET, the media and hip hop music. All of which project extremely negative images of blacks. We have to do better.
Damn that was pretty fucked up.
Ok, so a BLACK Women married a white man who doesn't protect her honor, then calls up some white lady named Dr. Laura for perhaps some empathy and guidance only to be slapped in the damn face with reality.
BLACK Women need to understand that no one and I mean no one, is going to love and protect them
like the BLACK Man.
And.... no one can empathize with you other than
BLACK people.
lol@that "genuine" apology
Non-Black people in this country know that a simple apology can "patch things up" with a lot of Blacks folks....thats why they can do it with ease.
I can make a 10 page thread all by myself of White folks that have done something physically or verbal disrespectful to Blacks, went to the media to issue an apology and the Blacks folks forgave them and the case was closed.
We as Black people need to learn how to make examples out of motherfuckas....because obviously we dont.
You wanna get back at a White person, fuck with their money. Most of them fold under financial stress. Especially if they were at the top, but then suddenly drop to the bottom. The result is usually suicide.
Im not hoping for White folks to start killing themsleves on a large scale...but im just saying
her real name was Laneisha.
....
He also had his black "spiritual advisor" with him when he made said apology.
Go to any IMDB message board where the film has a majority, if not an exclusively black cast, and I promise you will see a ton of threads from white users complaining no white people are in it or that they have a token role and are made to look stupid. Welcome to our world for the past century.

yall may not like hearing it, but did she lie? and then you get mad, fuck it. nobody owns words so if you keep using it, expect others to also--and not in the same way you use it

yep most people that bash Al Sharpton and others are NOT in the forefront generating media attention targeting racial issues.

Common sense would tell me that if a word was created by others to use against me as a derogatory term, I am not going to try and twist it to make it a term of endearment. I will use another word. And it's dumb when peoplem try to say using it takes the power away from the others when they get mad when a nonblack uses it--whether in a good way or a bad way. This woman may be a racist, but she is right. The N word is used so commonly in mainstream media and by black people at all levels of society. Then add in the hispanic and asian kids that use it among their black & nonblack friends and how are you going to try to tell people who can and can not say it? makes no sense
Please do ignore me. Somebody who can not express his thoughts and resorts to name calling is too immature to have a discussion with
I would argue that the coon is the one who CHOOSES to call himself a derogatory name used by his enslavers to demean him and make him think that he is less than human. But that's just me

think outside of the box and stop being ignorant & sheepish...now that I think about it, some of you should continue using the word because it describes you perfectly (the original meaning--not the bullshit meaning you are pretending the word has)
